​@@OLT_TVYou're spot on. The whole car didn't feel as solid as the previous version. I got mine Sept 2019 one of the first and it really felt like they saved massively on costs or maybe to make it lighter? I can't stand that glossy plastic fingerprint magnet centre console divider.

Interesting video. Came here as my daughter is looking at these. Some constructive criticism. Your videos really should be rolled into one for each car - 5 things you love and 5 things you hate. If you want to keep them separate then I would try and keep them a lot shorter and avoid repetition. Looking back through your videos on the say the Golf you only have one with 5 things you love, I couldn't see a hate one. Cars really are a personal choice but some pointers on why BMW's are like they are and why they are unlikely to change based on your video. 1. Steering wheel - should be held at 10 and 2 (or 9and 3) it is proven to give better control and BMW provide thumb supports. If you've ever been involved in an accident where the drivers airbag deploys you'll appreciate when its recommended to hold in these positions. Holes to put your fingers through on steering wheels makes me shudder in the event the steering wheel is whipped to one side in an accident. 2. BMW doesn't really do flat bottomed steering wheels and the buttons are pretty standard on all models - they don't follow other brands. 3. Material have never been BMW's forte - they leave that to Audi for something that looks special. BMW is functional so all those pressy buttons will work for a long time - unlike your touch buttons in VW who have now switched back to pressy buttons lol. Your aircon just needs checking by BMW. It's over 2 years old and could have a leak or need re-gassing. Best to get it checked. Opening your windows counteracts the aircon making it even more useless than yours is. Climate control is meant to be set to an inside temperature and just leave the car do it automatically - ideally you shouldn't feel the fan blowing unless it's really hot inside and the car has work to do. 4. Start stop might just need a software update. I actually turn mine off whichever car I'm in be it a VW or BMW. You can code it out and it won't affect fuel consumption a great deal - more an emissions issue. 5. Plastics are not always great on BMW's and I doubt they will ever catch Audi unless you're looking at the higher spec models over £100k. Reverse camera is an option on these like pretty much everything nowadays. So make sure the cars you look at have all the options you need if buying used. Keep up the good work but I look forward to more concise and shorter videos.

I own a 2021 M135i and my climate control is perfect . It gets very cold 🥶 . Have you got the setting wrong?

Fully agreed mate. Not quite sure what’s going on with the climate control in these…

If the air con does not work... You ask BMW to look at it. I presume it has a warranty. Something must be wrong with it, it is that simple. BMW do standard tests to ensure that the temp gets down to the required temp inside of a few minutes. So it must be broken. I see you have inner air circulation switched on.

Drove 2016 5 series and 2019 1 series and the steering wheel is disappointingly heavy and rigid on both models. I own citroen c5 aircross 2019 and the steering is super soft and fun and feels like rubbery and nice to grip - bmw leather wheel on 5 series felt sticky - its just the interior that got me hooked so bad tho

Well I love my 1 series. The iDrive 7.0 is great and yes I do have the Parking Assistant. I wish I’d had xDrive and the DCT gearbox is inferior to the torque converter auto. The is especially the case if you try driving and VW or Audi with their dual clutch gearboxes.

I do enjoy the drive of most of the BMW’s I’ve been in. Can’t compare it to VW as I’ve never driven one, but I would say it all depends on the model and spec when compared with Audi’s.

Thanks for the video. Don’t let the negative comments affect your work. U know your stuff, the start stop is absolutely poor in BMW’s merc is by far the best, the jerky stop starts are a nightmare especially in traffic jams I switch mine off. Steering wheel I’m not entirely sure I always like the thickness of the steering wheel it just lets me know I’m in the m sport trim and not an SE entry level car. Audis I more expect the flat bottom steering wheel but maybe a good change for BM so u might have just given them an idea. The only other thing I would say is how you keep the texture of the steering wheel from going shiny it looses that suede feeling after a while. Anyway, Keep posting, I’m going to check at the aircon in one of the 1 series we have in stock and let you know if it could be yours giving a problem and get back to yah but nice video.

4-40 you would like to put your fingers through the gap in the steering wheel 😂 that’s a great way to break them 😮

I prefer the wheel on my 2019 1 series and that gen of BMW's in general. It looks much more premium than the new design. I drove a base spec 118d when I was in for a service, and the quality feels like an overall downgrade on the interior. The new screens are nice though. The look of the new 1 series has definitely grown on me over time for the exterior. I do think they are price gouging the options. You really don't want a base spec one. I'd rather have a fully loaded fiesta over a base spec 1 series thats for sure. If I could have my old 1 series with the new screens/software, then I'd be a happy chappy!

@OLT_TV

11 ай бұрын

New screens are quite nice, but I sill think BMW interiors have a long way to go in catching up to their competition. Exterior has definitely grown on me too! I don’t think any cars these days have a base spec model that’s worth it, you really need a good few options on them to get your desired car or to match what you believe you should get as standard in the modern day.

Good for you, speak your mind without fearing intimation.

I agree the dashboard on the BMW is quite ugly. At one time keen on the Toyota GR Yaris but that dashboard is worse. Its difficult where the customer believes BMW provide luxury cars . . . and the manufacturer designs a low budget item.

The only fault I have is when driving and you run over a cat's eye or markings on the road the car erratically trys to straighten the steering wheel which can be a little scaring is this the intellegence program
